    1. Follow the instructions here to find you application ID.

  3. Configure the indexes that you want to integrate. If an index does not appear, make sure that (i) your API key has the permissions listed above; (ii) your index has at least one record. Required configuration fields:

    1. Label: the string (text) the user sees when searching
    2. URL: the URL that the user is navigated to when they select a record (e.g., /path/{{record.id}}). 99.9% of the time, you will want to use {{record.field}} to interpolate it in a field from the selected index record.
